'I was a rat!' So insists a scruffy boy named Roger. Maybe it's true, but what is he now? A terrifying monster running wild in the sewers? The Daily Scourge is sure of it. A victim of 'Rodent Delusion'? The hospital nurse says yes. A lucrative fairground attraction? He is to Mr. Tapscrew. Or is Roger just an ordinary little boy? Only three people believe this version of the story, and it may take a royal intervention-and a bit of magic-to convince everyone else. A playful parody of the press, I Was a Rat! is a magical weaving of humour, fairy tale, and adventure. When, in A Scarecrow and His Servant, a bolt of lightning brings Scarecrow to life, he proves to be a courteous but pea-brained fellow with grand ideas. He meets a boy, Jack, who becomes his faithful servant and the two embark upon a terrifying series of adventures-including battles, brigands, broken hearts, and treasure islands. But little does the Scarecrow know that he is being followed by a family who desperately wishes he'd never sprung to life. Two stories of myth, magic and adventure from the master teller of tales.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Books for Kids","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46321181130924,"sku":"9781841599557","price":38.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/8422\/5964\/files\/9781841599557_1.jpg?v=1780111882","url":"https:\/\/booksforkids.pro\/products\/i-was-a-rat-or-the-scarlet-slippers-the-scarecrow-and-his-servant","provider":"Books for Kids","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
